Gurdjieff

(George Ivanovitch, 1877-1949). Russian esotericist, creator of the so-called Fourth Way System and founder in 1922 of the Institute for the Harmonious Development of Man. A strange and controversial personality, he transmitted a philosophical-scientific doctrine amalgamated with esoteric traditions from the East. The "System" does not lack a certain innovative authenticity and has been methodized by his main disciple P. Ouspensky. *Former disciple of past lives of Master Samael, he calls him Master G in some of his books. The Master tells us that he made the mistake of confusing Kundalini with the Abominable Kundartiguador Organ and this was the cause of his stagnation.

Born in Russian Armenia, G. I. Gurdjieff sought answers to the fundamental questions of human beings in ancient sources. His approaches constitute a revolutionary and coherent body of interrelated ideas, which guide the authentic seeker along the path of conscious evolution. Mystical and controversial figure, the "Tiger of Turkestan" left a powerful legacy aimed at awakening sleeping consciences. This complex and rigorous tradition has followers and detractors around the world.
